CAVI Footnotes: {1} SYLLABIC HETA. {2} VERY SMALL IN THE PH., PL. 36,3; I THINK, BOTHMER
READS THIS GOING UP AND COMPLETE, BUT IT COULD PERHAPS BE READ RETR. AND DOWN:
[--]σον, ALTHOUGH THERE IS VERY LITTLE SPACE. POSSIBLY COMBINE WITH THE FIRST
INSCRIPTION: Δασ[--(?)]σον(?). A COMPOUND OF δασυς (?).
CAVI Comments: THE PHS. SHOW THE LETTERS TOO SMALL FOR INDIVIDUAL IDENTIFICATION. THE
READINGS ARE BOTHMER'S. SIMIAS IS PROBABLY A VARIANT OF SIMOS, SNUB-NOSED
(BOTHMER). FOR THE NAME CF. C. FRäNKEL (1912), 9, 21, 67; RUMPF (1927), 51;
BOARDMAN (1955), 65. THE VASE WAS PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED.
